Corn Refried Beans combine the creamy texture of mashed pinto or black beans with the sweetness of whole kernel corn. Originating in Mexican cuisine, this dish is typically prepared by sautéing cooked beans with oil or lard, spices like cumin and garlic, and incorporating corn for added flavor and texture. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and potassium, this dish supports digestive health and energy levels. Corn adds antioxidants, particularly lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health. However, traditional recipes may include added fats and sodium, which are factors to watch for those monitoring heart health or calorie intake. For a lighter option, consider using olive oil instead of lard and opting for low-sodium beans. Versatile and satisfying, Corn Refried Beans are delicious as a side dish, taco filling, or dip while offering both flavor and nutritional benefits.
